Lord Alton of Liverpool: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	How many refugees and asylum seekers have benefited from English for Speakers of Other Languages courses.

Lord Adonis: Since 2001, 1.9 million people have taken up the opportunity to improve their English language skills.
	Using analysis of the Learning and Skills Council's (LSC's) individualised learner record (ILR) data, there were 42,353 enrolments by asylum seekers on English for Speakers of Other Languages courses in 2004-05, the latest year for which figures are available. This figure includes 4,378 enrolments by learners aged 16 to 18 and 37,975 by learners aged 19 plus. LSC ILR data does not record refugee learners separately from mainstream FE learners.

Lord Alton of Liverpool: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	What consideration they gave to the effect on community cohesion and integration of the decision to cut the provision of English for Speakers of Other Languages courses; and whether they will review this decision in due course.
